This entire experience was pure joy, right from the start, during initial communications with Vesna and Judith. They were exceptionally friendly, courteous, and accommodating, carefully answering every one of my many questions. The idea behind the hike, was to obtain expert information about the great outdoors, and to do so in a way that would keep my 9-year old nephew... more

Forget the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge shops - see the real Smokies! We've been to Gatlinburg at least five times and had never stepped foot outside the car in the actual Smoky Mountains. We were really missing out! We novices felt so much smarter after our Stroll Back in Time with Megan! She showed us many things we would have... more

My husband, his brother and wife, and I took "A Walk in the Woods" with Megan Jones. The trip took longer than the time given but we were having such a great time we didn't notice! Megan was so knowledgable and funny at the same time. We learned so much on the easy walk. We talked non-stop about the trip... more

My husband and I overpaid for the birding trip which was below expectations on numerous levels. Although I wrote the owners in detail regarding our outrageous experiences and our major dissappointment, no response to our objections was ever received. I would have expected to have been led by a professional staff member, which was not the case. We paid $155.00... more

The writer below waited more than a month to contact us regarding her concerns. She stated that her mother was ill so instead of e-mailing her back, I called her personally to speak with her the moment I received her e-mail. Her husband took the message and I didn't hear back from her. I tried two other times the following...

I am in love with this company! They are so incredibly knowlegeable about the fauna, animals, and history of the Great Smoky Mountains it's amazing. I went on two hikes with Andrea and what a gem she is. She is very patient and can answer pretty much anything you throw at her. We actually got to see a mother bear... more

My daughter and I had Andrea, from A Walk in the Woods, as our guide on July 25, 2009 for an Appalachian Trial Walk to Charlies Bunyon. It was a beautiful day and the views were awesome. Andrea was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, patient, well prepared and very personable. By having a guide, we were able to learn so much... more

My mom and I took a Nature Walk with Andrea on a beautiful June morning during our vacation in Gatlinburg. I hadn't been to the Smoky Mountains in about 10 years so I was very excited to be returning and learning about the area again. As we took our very easy and leisurely stroll around the path, Andrea began pointing... more

Over 35 years as a child and parent visiting Gatlinburg and the GSMNP, and I guess I have done neary everything you can do in town and in the park. This said, the Children's hike with Megan Jones may be the best two hours we have ever spent in the area. If you are a parent, do yourself and your... more

The walk we did was called Wilderness with Children or something along those lines. We went down the Nature trail at Cosby and the guide did a phenomenal job with the kids. There were several cool footbridges to cross and the trail was really pretty. We hunted for salamanders, ate birch twigs, and toothwort, learned about flowers, played a few... more
